Speaker 1 (00:04):
Now get yo when it's you.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's like Yo Parkers to walk on ninety six air
M's on West Coast Eagle Iliot Yo for Berth Window
and Door Replacement Company.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Give your home and you made some life with Perth
Window and Door Replacement Company, the number one name in
the game to book your free quote Surge Perth Window
and Door Elliot, Good morning morning, How are your good?
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Well?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Where good?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
You had some surgery?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Why day?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
How did it go?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I think it went well. Obviously we'll know more in
the coming weeks. So I just start to get moving
and how I pull up and recover. But pretty basic
surgery are just getting a few things taken out and
manage just a couple of cuts.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Okay, So this is the troublesome ankle.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It is, unfortunately, So yeah, it was just the hardware
that was in the anklehich just wasn't holding up too
well and was aggravating a few things. So yeah, it
was probably best to get it taken out and let
it sort of heal and naturally do its thing. Now,
now that's kind of completely all all the ligaments and
(01:16):
that they feel and think of recovered and healed. So yeah, yeah,
that was kind of what was setting me back and
not getting me to that next level in terms of
my training load and getting moving for Betty to be
basically able to play football.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Do you think you'll be able to play this season.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful, very hopeful. I think if everything
goes well, I'd like to try and at least be
pushing my name up for some sort of role or
game of football towards the around the buis I reckon. So,
but that's that's if everything goes well, and that's if
(01:57):
I pick every box and recovery is perfectly linear, which unfortunately,
majority of the time it isn't, so we just got
to hope for the best.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Well, they need you, yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, I mean it's frustrating to be sitting on the
sidelines and not being able to help, that's for sure.
So that's all you want to do. You just want
to be out there and try and help your teammates
as best as you possibly can. And yeah, it's hard
to sit on the sidelines and watch them. You have
no sort of influence at all when it comes to
(02:33):
match day or game day. So yeah, that's that's a
frustrating aspect.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
It's hard when you're playing against the champion ruckman like
Max Goran to have any impact because he's in stellar form,
is idiot that?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, you spoke about it last week. Yeah yeah. He
was the one to stop and we just couldn't stop him.
So good players like that, when they're when they're on fire,
they are to stop and he was just on another level.
So I'm sitting there at the game watching it was
the Maxicawn show and unfortunately giant.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Isn't he so versatile?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah, So unfortunately we just couldn't get
that done. And they ned that costomers as well, amongst
other things as well. Well.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
It was a bizarre game because the Eagles couldn't kick
a goal to save their lives in the first. Then
they went on a goal blitz in the second, and
then Jeremy McGovern was subbed out and defense couldn't withstand
the pressure of the attack. Was that the turning point
losing Gov?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I think it's certainly. I think he'd be naive to
think that it wasn't. I mean, Gov was holding down
the four quite well and then for all of a
sudden for him to go out. He's obviously his leadership
in the back line is you know, you can't fault
that either. So him being able to direct and instruct
players and where they need to be certainly helps and
gives a lot of guidance for a young team as well.
(03:51):
So yeah, yeah, it's it's not just the fact that
you know, Jeremy mcgoverned the player, but it's also Jeremy
McGovern the lead that helped changes. Yeah yeah, yeah, and
you know obviously what he can do in a set
mark and you know he's fantastic at ready to play it,
(04:12):
but he's also very good at directing and instructing where
players need to be. So yeah, that's certainly, that's certainly
hurt and you know that's probably you know, not the
determining factor, but it was probably certainly a factor in
the whole scheme of things as well.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Make Gubs a bit like you angels, fear to tread
kind of stuff. You stick your head and your body
where it probably shouldn't be at at times. But it
just goes to show that he just his heart and
soul isn't and body as well.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
He does. Yeah, yeah, Gus is as you said, he's
heart and soul of the Footall Club and he gives everything.
I'm sure that he'll be feeling the pinch in a
couple of years time period fires and I'll probably be
the same as well with our bodies. But you know,
we talked because we love the game, we love football
club and we love playing for our mates. So hopefully
the winds can just start coming, because yeah, you know,
(05:00):
you don't want to keep breaking your body for you know,
losing games of football. That's not fine at all.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Well, it's Richmond now at the mcg on Sunday eleven
ten bounced down for us per time. There will be
no GUV because of the concussion protocols, no bo Allen
because of suspension. To read, looks like he hurt his
lower leg on Saturday, but he hasn't been named on
the injury list. How's he looking for Sunday?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Look, I think he's got to get through. There's main
training today, so he has to do that and tick
that box. So until until he gets through all of that,
I'm sure that you know, the Menicos will make the
rock this season on whether or not he's okay. But yeah,
I'm actually getting into the football club today to catch
up and so everyone. So I've kind of been away
(05:46):
from it all.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
But yeah, say you're probably you've probably not been in
as soon as I asked you that, Elliott, it's probably
at home with his book.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I have been, I have been, but now I'm heading
in today, so hopefully I can see all the team
and the poison Archer and get a bit of a vibe.
And yeah, I'm hopeful that he's ankle will be okay
and that he can play some games, because he's going
to be really good football for us, and I think
the more games that we can get into him, the better.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
This is only you know, the man who's watched everything
on Netflix twice in the past week. Absolutely, I would
imagine a bit of it, if nothing else, a bit
of fun banter between the Richmond guys and their former
teammates and Liam Backer and Jack Graham.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I think, so it's going to be good to watch.
I'm sure there'll be there'll be some fiery sort of clashes.
I would have thought it would have been fun to
be out there because it's actually it's pretty funny to
hear what each team's got to say of their ex teammates,
and it's actually can be quite fun and have a
bit of a laugh. So we actually did something similar.
(06:53):
I think it was last year we played Richmond, and
I think there was tooks that Banks was coming back
to West Coast as well. We were sort of hoott
and baits and it was a lot of fun and
I think a few of the Richmond boys jumped on
as well rejoin it. So yeah, yeah, obviously it's all
quick and it happens quite fast because the game moves
(07:16):
pretty quick, and most of the blokes are tongue in it,
as you can probably tell because the game just moves
that quick. So there's not a lot of time for
you too much chit chat, but when there is, it's
actually quite fun.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Well, you're sitting near each other on the ladder, so
it's one of those games. It's going to be very
matched and will be interesting to see how it goes.
Bounced down. Is ten past eleven our time. Good luck,
Good luck with your your ankle. I hope now you
got all the bits out that are not necessary in
there that it'll heal.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Luck well, yeah, yeah, that's so thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Thanks Elliet.
